Cape Town brings the fascinating world of the big blue to you, in the enchanting world of the Two Oceans Aquarium. Home to more than 3000 creatures and 88 species, the aquatic entertainment and educational centre gives both adults and children alike the chance to come face-to-face with parts of the ecosystems found in both the Atlantic and Indian Ocean. Immerse yourself in the many stunning ocean exhibits and get closer with interactive exhibits that reveal the world of the very, very small. For something truly special, why not pull on a wet-suit for a unique opportunity to get close to shoals of large predators such as yellow-fin tuna or engage with the friendly rescue turtles Bob and Sandy in a secure environment, and get a privileged look (with mask and snorkel) at the beautiful short-tail stingrays.

Just waiting for your eager minds are predators of the deep, fish as multi-coloured as a rainbow, crabs the size of toddlers, and feathered friends so lovable they don’t mind a soft pat on the head.
